Dear listeners,
I have just added to our playlist Rod Best’s latest album, “Soul Soothing”, featuring Patrick Yandall on guitars, Daniel Spirovski on saxophones, Libbie Jo Snyder on flute and Rod on keyboards.
This instrumental album is easy listening and relaxing and fits well in our music rotation, I hope you’ll like it.
Here’s “Latin Lover”, one of the tracks from the album:
